VP Pence visit’s the Cali/Mex border while the caravan people begin to get processed for asylum ….

While Mike Pence made a second trip to the California/Mexcico border undre tight security?

Memebers of the Central American caravan group that had been traveling to the border began to peacefully turn themselves into US Border, Customs and Immigration officals for asylum protection in America….

In a span of just 100 miles along the U.S.-Mexico border in California, two scenes played out Monday that symbolize the yawning chasm that is the national debate over immigration.

In the Imperial Valley, Vice President Mike Pence took a heavily secured tour of a construction site for the border barrier and lauded local Border Patrol agents, who presented him with a piece of the original border fence as a gift.

“With President Trump in the White House, I know you all know you have a leader who not only is listening to each and every one of you, and standing with each and every one of you, but he’s also standing on the conviction that walls work,” Pence told the agents.

Meanwhile, a two-hour drive west, a caravan of Central American immigrants who have drawn the ire of Trump waited at the Tijuana-San Diego border crossing to ask for asylum. Many, including women and young children, slept overnight, on the ground, on the Mexico side after U.S. immigration officials said they had reached their capacity for processing immigrants without documents.

All this drew attention to California, which has been a consistent thorn in Trump’s side, especially in regard to immigration. The Trump administration has sued the state over its so-called sanctuary policies, and the president and Gov. Jerry Brown have sparred over plans to send members of the National Guard to the border…..
